The Yakhsa Prashna that troubles everyone in this country is: "I know where to go if I have a problem with my heart or bones or stomach. But I really don't know where to go or who do I turn to when our country is just not feeling well?

Even
before the tears of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s mother could dry
up, (26/11 attack on Mumbai) Congress general secretary and heir
apparent Rahul Gandhi went partying with his pals at a farmhouse on
Delhi’s outskirts, according to a India Today report that appeared
in the year 2008.

The
current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh speaks only if terrorist of
Indian origin belonging to a particular faith are caught anywhere in
the world and not for others. In spite of several suggestions that
terror money from Pakistan is involved in stock exchange, Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh goes overboard in inviting Pakistani
businessman in India and the Nehru-Gandhi dynastic ruled government
has given away Tibbet to China and land to Pakistan, and Bangladesh,
on a regular basis since independence.

Today,
the country thinks Narendra Modi has an answer. It is just not the
supporters but the opponents also come to him for answer. Leaders of
Congress led UPA as well as other parties which have IIT alumni as
leader look at Narendra Modi for all kind of answers, e.g. Gas
Pricing to Sexual Preferences (Article 377). No one thinks whether
the issues come under Narendra Modi’s preview as Chief Minister of
a State or not.

Modi
like a true leader has shouldered the responsibility and stood up for
the country and the countrymen whenever there has been a need.
Following are some examples where he took a stand or solved the issue
at international level by being mere Chief Minister of a smaller
state like Gujarat.

“During
his visit to China in November 2012, he took up the case of 22
Indian youth, who were lodged in a Chinese jail, before the Chinese
leadership purely on humanitarian ground. He emphasised that Indian
nationals languishing in a Chinese jail for the last two years
should be given speedy trial and they should get justice. Chinese
Government expedited the trial and ordered
to deport 13 diamond traders to India.

Modi’s
diplomatic efforts and statesmanship as a Chief Minister of a state
is remarkable. Especially compared to Indians stuck across the world
and Indian government’s utter failure to secure their release of
provide them with any kind of relief.

While
the Union Government was trying to come up with an effective
response to the brutal beheading of two Indian soldiers by Pakistani
troops in January 2013, a 22-member delegation of Karachi Chamber of
Commerce, which was in Ahmedabad to attend the sixth edition of
VGGS, was not allowed to attend the Vibrant Gujarat summit, which
had participants from over 120 countries across the globe.

It
is all the more important when one observes that the young Chief
Minister of UP didn’t had time to visit the martyrs family.

He
wrote a strongly worded letter to the Prime Minister, not as the
Chief Minister but as a concerned and responsible citizen of Gujarat
on this important issue of Sir Creek

Modi
has stood time and again to guard the rights of the citizen and has
demonstrated how the strength of individual character can often stand
as a bulwark against any wrong.

Even
within India, Narendra Bhai comes as a savior of people.

Three
time Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit said, "What
are the reasons that we understand... is the huge migratory
populations and very porous borders. You can come into Delhi, commit
a crime and just run back again.."

In
one state Chief Minister targets people of other state while in other
politician target people from other states. But Modi has a different
perspective.

Modi
says "Whatever Gujarat has achieved today is not only due to the
hard work and sweat of its people but also because of the efforts of
those who had come from other states of the country and made it their
home,".

Leader
should be able to discuss the issues in a conceptually sound,
intellectually disciplined and broad based way and tell us what ails
us as a people, a nation, a society, in our hearts and minds and
lives.

It
is a fact that migration and urbanization – the two are linked –
are economically beneficial to the host city.

Chief
minister Narendra
Modi
praised people of Bihar
to the hilt at Bihar Shatabdi Utsav.

Bihar
was where Gandhi began his movement for swaraj, Modi
said, while JP came over from Bihar to lead the Nav Nirman movement
in Gujarat. In this unique style he said,
“Gujarat and Bihar share an old bond. If Sardar Patel had not been
there, Rajendra Babu (who hailed from Bihar) would not have become
the President of India while Jayprakashji made Morarjibhai PM,”.

Talking
about large number of Biharis who have migrated to Gujarat, Modi
said, “there was a time when Kolkata had most number of migrants
from Bihar, but I think now Surat has broken that record.”Asking
the Biharis not to forget their roots, Modi said that, “Biharis
settled in Gujarat may have become 100 per cent Gujaratis now but we
do not want them to forget their roots”.

Modi
also highlighted the strength of the Biharis saying that they display
their talent in whichever field they go. Modi said that
though Mahavira was born in Bihar, his deepest influence is found in
Gujarat. He said his government was planning to build a large statue
of the Buddha who, he said, had as much influence over Gujarat as
over Bihar.

Compare
this to the following :

Delhi
would come to a grinding halt if Biharis stop work even for a day as
they contribute "significantly" to its economy, Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar said. "Biharis form 20 per cent of the
population in Delhi. They contribute significantly to the city's
economy. If they stop working for a day, Delhi would come to an halt.
I am not saying they should stop work, but that is the potential of
Biharis," he said addressing a function on Sunday to mark 100
years of formation of Bihar.

Narendra
Modi's positive, encouraging words are more essential than reckless
behavior that causes distress to others. A national leader removes
the national barriers and linguistic blocks. This quality of Modi
leads everyone, opposition included to him for any query, anytime
whenever Nation is not feeling well.
